I planned to bet/call the river on a blank. The only hands that outflop me are J J and As Ks. He isn't the type of player to isolate me with KQs preflop, and isolation is hardly a valid tactic here anyway with a good amount of people behind him able to have a monster. I will now reveal that MP2 had Kc Kh, a big overplay of his hand in my opinion, he really must have thought I was betting and raising the Ace of spades, and his bet on the river is a complete spew unless he thinks I'm going to fold, which I never will. My read of him playing overpairs recklessly without paying attention to wh

I see, well, I don't like his raise on the turn much, other than that, I think his hand makes sense, i didnt realize he had limped in, and then called. His holding makes more sense now since he may have definitely open raised with some of the hands I put him as possibly having. If the river falls the same way, and he moves all in for the 100 more he has left, what are you doing?

Ah the old stop and go, i forgot about it completely, thanks for the advice, I like that play.

This is a really tough hand to analyze, the fact that he has position on you makes his hand range incredibly wide. It's hard to tell wether he has you beat on the turn, or is raising, hoping you're making continuation leads, to pick up the pot with some flush or straight outs to rely on if you actually have the overpair. It's scary just calling here with Queens out of position because the river will be your worst nightmare pretty often. With the river looking so innocent and it going check check, I am guessing he ended up having a hand like 10J, Ah Qh or Ac Qc, or even a monster draw like

Alright, next time I am out of position in this type of situation, I will try to come alive earlier for protection, instead of trying for value. It makes sense.Let's go over some situations if I had 3 bet preflop:I lead the flop, and he calls, then I bet the turn and he raises, then i call and check/call river i'm thinking?I lead the flop, he raises: 1. I call, I check/call turn and river?2. I 3 bet the flop and lead the turn, he raises, I call, check/call river.Which do you think is best if he raises my flop bet? It's hard to surmise in hindsight I suppose.I'm thinking if I know my opponent

Something I read in a book talked about flopping a flush draw and a pair, and said you should not get too crazy with it, to play it for value. I guess I understand where you are going with raising the flop, because you are getting value assuming your 9 is good out of the original raiser, and not caring much if the 9 isnt good. My question then is what is different about this situation that makes raising correct than what the book talks about? Sorry I can't give reference to what book it's from or anything, but it must have been SS1, SS2, Winning Low Limit Hold'em or Hold'em for Advanced Pla

I disagree with a lot of the posters here, I think it's very stupid if he thinks you could have a straight draw. If you're check raising the flop from first position with a straight draw, then checking the turn when you miss do you really expect to get a free card? This play might work in position, but from first? I don't know what hand he's putting you on here to play J 8 comfortably, but I'm guessing he hasn't really put you on a hand and thinks he shouldnt worry since there is only 1 other jack in the deck. Surprised he raised, but i'd definitely call it or push back over the top.

If you had position and it was Villain bet, cold call, would you raise then?

I think you had the best hand, however many times you won't have the best hand here, and I think raising on the flop could scare many players out behind you for 2 bets besides hands that have you beat. I think you want that extra money in from players you're ahead of, especially if you're drawing to a flush to win. Worked out great though the way you played it, and I like the raise if you do suspect your hand is good. Usually, im just calling and hoping for value, though this may be an exception if you think you're good here with A 9. Coincidentally, the players behind you cold called 2 be

I look at it this way, there are about 5 hands we can put him on, AA AK KK QQ JJ. Based on what comes on the turn he would have to have the case pocket kings, which is pretty rare, and you have a queen so queens isn't quite as likely, i suppose. I would say you have the best hand on the turn about 40% of the time, and will improve to the best hand on the river if you don't about 20% of the time, or more depending on his holding. That seemingly gives you a 60% edge in the hand and I like value check raising the turn, I doubt he re-raises here, especially with AK, and maybe not even with aces

but if you bet into the leader on the flop on the turn, and he raises, you are almost surely losing the button. I am in between the way he played it to begin with and the way I suggested...

yeah, we are lacking a bit of information, like how much was in the pot compared to how much he pushed for, etc. also if you had any prior thoughts on this player etc.

What hands does he 3 bet with preflop and then have QK beat on the turn with? Aces, and AK, and very rarely KK. He's still betting Jacks and Queens here on the turn, thinking you've already checked and he shouldnt worry about one person having a king, and he still wants to charge the flush draw. The fact that he raised on the river and probably had a hand that beat K Q on the turn is 100% in the rear view mirror as we look at this hand knowing how it played out.

this forum's hand analysis isn't certified by any pro players man, no one is necessarily right in their analysis of any hand posted here. The point of posting is to get multiple opinions, argue about why certain ways are better than others, or worse than others, and really just get you thinking about the hand from many different perspectives.

Well, I hate to be the first post on this one, but honestly, I think he played the hand perfectly if he knew what you had, and I think you didn't have a chance in hell of losing any less.

If he's going to check without the intent of check raising, and theVillain bets and the button calls, he can get great value out of his hand by raising the turn before the flush is so obviously made on the river. Now, when the flush hits on the river, and he bets out, he's more likely to be raised by someone thinking there is no way he has the flush.

check raise the turn, imo.

call in a heartbeat, though i do think you should have just moved in preflop with your 10s

I recently finished reading Harman's section on Limit Hold'em in Super/System 2. It's a really good section and I recommend it to anyone, but here is my question. Up until this point I had been calculating pot odds vs hand odds differently than she describes in the book. I was wondering if I am not alone, or if I've been doing it wrong this whole time. I used to think, for example, on the turn with overcards, that I have 6 outs out of a possible 46 unknown cards in the deck. So I would divide 46 by 6 to get roughly 7.66:1 against making my pair on the river. I would compare this to what

I got a chance to watch Ivey this year while working at the World Series of Poker. He was at the table on day 5 of a player I was tracking as a media person. I watched as hand after hand he picked up the blinds from the cutoff/button, making fools out of the competition to his left. Then again, how can I blame the players on his left when he makes this play at the blinds. Clearly, it is a play at the blinds, and the blinds know it, everyone knows it. The problem lies here, how are you going to call it if you're one of these inexperienced internet qualifiers? Call and then play a big pot

I have a rather different feeling on this. If you get called down, you should just show right away, this way no time will be wasted from anyone asking. I do not mind anyone who asks to see the hand because they called so that they could see what you had and learn from it. I also hate when the winner shows 1 card and the other guy mucks, I can learn a lot from a player even if I only see their kicker, or maybe they even had 2 pair, It's not right to not flip up both of your cards if you have been called on the river.

If you found a table that plays so poorly after the flop, why didn't you see more flops from late position with marginal hands to take advantage of this more often?

I use a transformer.
